GRAIN. PROvIsIOks. GROCERIES
CHICAGO, Ill, September 18.-Lit-
tie was done In grain, compared with
the activity OF Friday, but enough
stuff came out to break grain values 10
the lowest points OF the week. After
the first hours business the trading
took on the usual Saturday appearance.
In the wheat pit nearly every body sp.
pesred to be loaded. October opened
at 80, declined to 8ss,snd hung around
that figure until noon, then weakened
still further, closing at $50, the loweet
| figure Of the day. Il was intimated on
change that freight rates are to be adj
vsnced on n jndsy, which will inter-
fere with the export movement.
Foreign markets were quoted quiet
and dull, and home msrkets we're
lower.
Heavy receipts Of corn today, e,.
pecially by canal, caused much COM
ment, in view OF the talk all along
that there was no corn In Illinois"
THE, coupled with the fact that at
least two very stubborn holders lot 10
OF all they could yesterday, made the
market very weak. October, which
suffered q fo break yssteIday, declined
iSlc further In the frat fifteen min.
utes. II opened at 4 10 and sold down
TO ilc. Reports OF y better crop In
NebraskA than was anticipated helped
the downward aide, and the decline
was not checked until 40ic was
reached. Tue support at that point
was sufficient TO cause little reaction,
and the market frmed before the
close on enormous charters for lake
shipment. o,tober left OF at Ale.
Oats we're dull and the decline In
corn caustd q weak feeling. There
was tCstc decline In prices.
Provisions were quiet and dull 10
day. and prices for the leading ar,i.
clee. except the near deliveries OF
short rib sides, ruled oEeL Offerings
were o. very large, aud the demand
YVES less urgent than during the previ
Gus days OF the week. The longer
deliveries OF all kinds of products were
the veal est In sy npathy with the dc.
cline In the corn market and the
prospects Of good receipts Of hogs.
Trading chiefly In contracts for 0cto-
Der and January delivery. The spec
ulatiye market closed tame. Inquiry
Tor shipment was only fair, and tbs
few sales reported Indicated slight
concessions In prices. The receipts Of
products were fair, and the shipments
were quite large, especially OF lard and
meats. Eastern markets rather eAsy
and foreign markets unchanged. o..
